Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey seasons « 2012-13 2014-15 » | |
The 2013–14 Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey team represents Boston College in the 2013–14 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The team is coached by Jerry York, '67, his twentieth season behind the bench at Boston College. The Eagles play their home games at Kelley Rink on the campus of Boston College, competing in Hockey East.
With the addition of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish to Hockey East, the Holy War rivalry extended to conference play between the Eagles and the Irish. The two teams played each other at Fenway Park on January 4 during the league's Frozen Fenway exhibit, where the Eagles topped the Irish in a 4–3 contest, and both teams played their final game of the season against each other at Kelley Rink on February 28, with the Irish winning 2–1 in overtime.
The Eagles competed in two tournaments during the 2013–14 season. The first tournament, on December 27–28, the Eagles played in the 2nd Annual Three Rivers Classic, played at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, where they defeated Bowling Green 5–0 in the first round and then won the championship by beating Penn State 8–2 in the second round. On February 3 and 10, the Eagles won their 5th straight championship in the 62nd Annual Beanpot Tournament, played at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, defeating Boston University 3–1 in the first round and Northeastern in the championship round by a score of 4–1.
The Eagles finished the season 28–8–4, 16–2–2 in conference play, capturing the Hockey East regular season title. However, they did not advance far into the Hockey East tournament, losing the best-of-three quarterfinals to rival Notre Dame in three games, at home. They would, however, succeed in the NCAA Tournament, where they would win the Northeast Regional, played at the DCU Center in Worcester. A victory over Hockey East foe UMass Lowell advanced the Eagles to the program's 24th Frozen Four (tying Michigan for most appearances), but would lose to the eventual champions, the Union Dutchmen in the semi-final.
Previous season recap
The Eagles entered the 2013–14 season following a first round loss to Union College in the NCAA Tournament, and a semifinals loss to Boston University in the Hockey East Tournament. Their postseason woes do not accurately reflect the success of the season, as the Eagles finished with a strong 22–12–4 record and 15–9–3 in conference play, one point short of the regular season title, as well as their fourth consecutive Beanpot championship in a 6–3 win over Northeastern. Sophomore Johnny Gaudreau was a Hobey Baker award finalist after helping the US National Junior team to win a gold medal at the 2013 World Junior Championship in Ufa, Russia. Head Coach Jerry York became the winningest head coach in NCAA Hockey history, passing Ron Mason, with his 925th win over Alabama-Huntsville in the 2012 Mariucci Classic.

- On October 18, Boston College hosted Jerry York Night, an evening which commemorated the head coach's recent accomplishment of becoming the winningest head coach in NCAA Hockey history. The event was supposed to have been held during the 2012–13 season but was postponed twice, once due to blizzard, and a second time due to York's absence as a result of a detached retina. The evening consisted of a speech by athletic director Brad Bates congratulating York on his accomplishment, a short video of York's life and road to win #925, and a new banner was unveiled in the rafters which reads "Jerry York '67: NCAA Record Wins 1972–present". York then made a short speech giving thanks to the school, fans, etc. The #7 Eagles defeated the #2 Badgers in a 9–2 rout, their first matchup since meeting in the 2010 NCAA National Championship game, in which the Eagles won in a 5-0 shutout to secure their fourth National Championship and third under York.
- On November 8, BC and BU played their first matchup that did not include former Terrier head coach Jack Parker since 1974. Parker retired at the end of the previous season after 40 years of coaching at BU. It was the first non York-Parker matchup since 1994, when York first became the head coach at BC. The Eagles won 5–1. The previous day, November 7, York signed a contract extension to stay as the head coach of the Eagles through 2020, another six seasons of coaching. The game also ended an 8–game streak of the Eagles playing against ranked opponents.
